A little hard to reproduce. I open my local weather, http://www.weather.com/weather/local/02170, in a new tab. Occasionally there is an X10 camera advertisement or some other Flash ad that plays sound only on mouseover. Well, if I'm scrolled to the top of the page I can also trigger the sound by placing the mouse near the first tab. This only happens if tabs are open. I'll attach screen shots showing the region. Sorry I can't provide a better test case, but I don't know flash, and couldn't find another example with sound on mouseover. I'll keep searching, or perhaps someone with more web development experience could quickly mock something up? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

WFM using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040526 Firefox/0.8.0+. The only place that makes noise is over the flash ad. Please retest using the latest nightly build of Firefox and the latest version of Flash.
Installed the nightly (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040529 Firefox/0.8.0+). Installed Flash 7 player from Macromedia's site (Version 7,0,19,0). Loaded google.com. Loaded weather.com in a second tab. This time it was the "Golf" version of the X10 ad that displayed on the page. Every time I mouseover the region outlined in my second screen shot I get a low quality golf club swing noise. Quite amusing actually. Maybe it's a Mac only bug?

Quite amusing actually. Maybe > it's a Mac only bug? weather.com has taken that ad out of its rotation apparently. I just went to try to reproduce the problem and the ad is gone. Is this not a dupe of bug 238356-web page still have mouse focus even when selecting bookmark from menu?
I wouldn't say this is an exact dupe of Bug 238356 because I can not trigger any of the sounds in the test case for that bug by mousing over the region in my second screen shot, whereas that area would consistently trigger the mouseover for any of the few different x10 ads in the weather.com rotation. Also this bug depended on tabs. With the old x10 ads gone I can't find another test case. Unless someone objects I can mark this as WORKSFORME as it's been almost a year without a confirmation.
